    Excuse me for asking, but why are so many of you excited about old sewing machines? I though new and improved was the way to go now days.

    Oops! Ignore the date on the pictures. I used DD's camera and had to put in new batteries and forgot to fix the date.
    I think the different plates are for different feet. Your manual should tell you.

    To me, there is something so special about an older machine. They have a history to them. I often wonder who used them and who they sewed for.
